They took Ms Glidden to the medical tent but paramedics had trouble stopping the bleeding, estimating she had lost more than half a litre of blood due to the injury.

A medic put four stitches in her head on the spot, and the 19-year-old will likely be left with a permanent scar from the injury.

The teenager was attending the second day of the two-day festival, and had planned to take it easy as she was heading overseas the next morning

However she was left covered in her own blood and will likely have a permanent scar from the injury

The paramedic that treated the teenager said the injury caused arterial bleeding, while Ms Glidden's friend Ashley said 'at one point when I took my hand off (the wound) that it legitimately squirted'.

'Looking back on it it's terrifying. I was really just having a great time and out of no where it happened,' the Adelaide woman added.

'I guess because of the shock I didn't notice any pain to start off with, it was really the sound and the feeling that hit me.

'Seeing the blood down my arm and legs made me understand the seriousness off it. During the time I was pretty light headed and dizzy as well.'

The injury has ruined her family holiday to Bali, and means she wont be able to participate in any activities she was looking forward to

Ms Glidden said Ashley saw the bottle that hit her - identifying it as a small container of Jack Daniel's whiskey.

Aside from ruining her first music festival experience, the injury has also put a dampener on the woman's overseas holiday.

Ms Glidden had decided not to drink and instead drove herself to the event as she was heading on holidays with her family the next morning.

On Sunday morning she left for a trip to Bali with her family to celebrate her brother graduating high school, but she will no longer be able to take part in many activities she was looking forward to doing.

'I can't really swim as I can't get any of their water on the laceration,' she revealed.

'I won't be able to wash my hair, we are going to Water Bom Park (a water amusement park) but I'll again have to watch or go in areas where I can't get wet.'

In a post to Facebook Ms Glidden urged others to think about their actions when taking glass into festivals - something that is banned at such events due to its potential to cause such harm.

'Please please please, think twice about what you smuggle. And if you're gonna do it - put the glass in a bin,' she wrote.
